I only know of the one and the warehouse. Last time I was at the store there wasn't much to see.

How far is warehouse from store? thanks

About 1/2 hour north up 71

The warehouse is on 42 West of 23 near the Delaware Airport.

Last I saw the original store was still open, you can see it heard S on 71.
Don't know if any of the others are still open.

what is the plan if more nhra big show cars start running ihra on off weekends, qualify for 3 or 4 cars out of 8, and take all the purse money?
then it's race between the 'hra's' to produce the highest show-up and not qualify money, and nhra should match ihra's (2) Q passes to get the show-up cash.

Only 2 qualifiers and different tracks/prep is hopefully the equalizer. The big HP teams may have a hard time getting down the track.

In 2025, 20 different drivers attempted to qualify in TF at the 5 races. Only 1 qualified at all 5. Even Scott Palmer DNQ’d at one race. We had 5 different winners. Only one driver went to 2 finals. 8 different finalists in the first 4 races.

If it gets to where more big teams start showing up, then we will likely have to make some adjustments.

Id say 16 car fields when they show up. Columbus perhaps?

If I am a NHRA fuel team and needs to test, I would be at the IHRA races. Easy money, it would be like taking candy from a baby.

The only reason why I think they wouldn't, would be the hotel costs for the teams, testing at Indy there's no hotel costs.

If a sponsor wants them at a race they will show up.

as mentioned in a previous thread, the track prep may be different than what might be expected in nhra,
so it may seem like a cakewalk, but maybe not so simple. shawn reed did it last year at one ihra event, but i don't think it's a given
that a well funded nhra big show car can just expect late rounds or a final @ ihra race. will be interesting to watch.

saw this. perhaps the IHRA listened to it's racers. i like this move to 1/4 for certain classes (where track distance allows)
